Big shout out to all the RIU crew

Just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who replied to my first thread. This is my girl at 20 days since she popped. I have made a couple of mistakes as I knew I would but she seems to be doing okay with it. First mistake was I think I may have been under watering to start, and second I believe I started LST too soon. Looking forward to getting some input from y'all

Looks ok but IMO it’s in a pot to large for it right now

Just focus on proper watering practices now to encourage the roots to fill out that pot. Overwatering is a huge problem for new growers, so pick up that pot and get used to the weight after watering, then wait until the pot gets light before watering again. Welcome, and good luck!

She is, wasn't as prepared as I thought when I started that's why I think I was under watering at first was being too cautious about over watering in that pot

Thanks for the advice this is my first grow in many years and never grown indoor before. I bought a moisture meter for my soil, already ditched it just going on pot weight and what she's telling me she wants/needs. I was definitely having watering problems but she has bounced back very nicely. This was a 10 days ago

Looks good and has made good progress in the 10 days between pics. Just keep it simple don't over think it. Very easy to grow if you make it easy. Start Making it complex and you'll be asking what happened and what do I do.

I'm just glad the, water in the nude tip worked
